transactions, the muddy waters of decadent Italian plot and
counterplot being inscrutable to senses assisted by nothing
more luminous than mere tradition.]

[Footnote 13: Those who are interested in such matters may
profitably compare this description of a planned murder in
the sixteenth century with the account written by Ambrogio
Tremazzi of the way in which he tracked and slew Troilo
Orsini in Paris in the year 1577. It is given by Gnoli in
his _Vittoria Accoramboni_, pp. 404-414.]

[Footnote 14: So far as I can discover, the only church of
San Spirito in Venice was a building on the island of San
Spirito, erected by Sansavino, which belonged to the
Sestiere di S. Croce, and which was suppressed in 1656. Its
plate and the fine pictures which Titian painted there were
transferred at that date to S.M. della Salute. I cannot help
inferring that either Bibboni's memory failed him, or that
his words were wrongly understood by printer or amanuensis.
If for S. Spirito we substitute S. Stefano, the account
would be intelligible.]
